Find and Replace

A client renames their company partway through a project and every mention of the old name needs updating across a 3,000-word document. A developer decides a variable name was a bad choice and it appears forty times in a pasted script. Manually finding and fixing each instance means scrolling, missing one, and re-checking. This tool replaces every occurrence in the whole block of text in one pass.

How the replacement works

Paste your full text into the box, type the exact word or phrase you want to find, and what it should be replaced with. Clicking "Replace All" swaps every matching instance in the text at once — not just the first one — so a term repeated dozens of times throughout a long document gets updated consistently in a single click.

Where this saves the most time

Updating a product name that changed after a rebrand, across an entire product description or user manual. Fixing a consistent typo that appears throughout a long document — for example, correcting "recieve" to "receive" everywhere at once rather than one instance at a time. Standardizing terminology in a technical document, such as changing every mention of "sign in" to "log in" for consistency. Removing a repeated placeholder phrase (like "[INSERT NAME]") that shows up multiple times in a template by replacing it with nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the search case-sensitive? Yes — typing "Name" will not match "name" in the text, so match the capitalization of what you're searching for exactly as it appears.

Can I replace with nothing to delete text? Yes — leave the "Replace with" field blank and every instance of your search term will simply be removed from the text.

What if my search term includes special characters like brackets or asterisks? The tool automatically handles special characters safely, so searching for something like "[draft]" works as literal text rather than being misinterpreted.
